Motor Vehicle Regulations

The motor vehicle regulations are applicable to everyone operating
or parking a motor vehicle on properties of Voorhees College. All
traffic rules shall be enforced on all college premises at all times of
the day and night throughout the calendar year. The Voorhees College
Police Department is authorized and empowered to enforce these motor
vehicle regulations.

Regulations

All motor vehicles using college parking facilities must have a
permanent decal or temporary permit valid for the time period
indicated. Decals must be affixed to the front windshield of the
vehicle. Parking decals cost $10 / per semester for both students and
faculty / staff.

Visitors must obtain a parking permit from the Office of Student Affairs or Security Hut.

Registration of vehicles is to be completed at the beginning of
each semester or summer session and within five (5) days after the date
of employment for new faculty or staff

Any student, faculty, or staff member with a physical disability may
apply to the Office of Student Affairs or Security Hut for
consideration in obtaining special parking privileges.

Double-parking is prohibited at all times.

Vehicles shall not be parked in such a manner as to obstruct
vehicular or pedestrian traffic, wheelchair ramps, interfere with
normal operational activities, or create a hazard. Vehicles so parked
will be towed at the owner's expense.

Parking on grass, sidewalks, loading zones, or on roadways (except
where specifically marked for parking) is prohibited. The fact that a
person parks in an unauthorized space or area and does not receive a
citation does not mean that the regulation is no longer in effect.

Any vehicle parked on campus is parked at the risk of the owner.

Overnight parking of any vehicle is prohibited unless special permission is granted by the College Police Department.

Disabled or abandoned vehicles which constitute a traffic or safety
hazard are subjected to be towed away at the owner’s expense. This also
applies to vehicles abandoned on campus for more than 48-hours.
Locating a legal parking space is the responsibility of the vehicle’s
operator. Lack of a parking space will not be considered a valid excuse
for violation of any parking regulation.

Unauthorized persons parking vehicles in “handicapped” spaces are
subject to a fine of $100 and having the vehicle towed at the owner’s
expense. Temporary “handicapped” parking permission may be obtained by
contacting the Office of Student Affairs or Security Hut.

Regulations concerning loading zones will be enforced at all times.
All vehicles or operators involved in traffic, parking/non-moving, and
decal violations may be ticketed by College Police Officers. The
citation shall show the nature of the violation and the number of the
issuing officer. The person to whom the decal is registered will be
held responsible for violations. If the violator cannot be identified,
then the registered owner will be held responsible.

A fine for use of lost or stolen permits will be
applied, and parking privileges will be revoked for the remainder of
the permit year at the discretion of the Police Chief and/or the
Parking Appeals Committee.

All persons receiving citations for non-moving violations shall pay such charges in person or by mail to the Cashier’s Office.

Unpaid Tickets will result in:

Withhold parking and driving privileges on college property.

Prevent the person from registering as a student.

Withhold delivery of transcripts or degrees.

Has three tickets or fines.

Is blocking traffic or creating a hazard.

manner.

Pedestrians shall have the right of way at designated crosswalks at all times.

The Parking Ticket Appeals Committee will hear the appeals of
employees, students, and visitors. Appeals information is printed on
all parking ticket.

property. Copies of the Parking Rules and Regulations and schedules of
fees for parking, decals, permits, are available from the Office of
Student Affairs or Security Hut.
